Office Worker Injuries

Office Worker Injuries | Romanucci & Blandin

Although working in an office does not have as many risks or hazards as other professions, there are still injuries that office workers can sustain at work. When you are sitting at your desk for extended periods of time, there are injuries that you can develop.

When you sit for the entire workday, it can be hazardous to your health. The most common types of office worker injuries include:

Back and neck injuries from being in the same position

Carpal tunnel syndrome from typing

Eye strain from reading small print or staring at your computer screen

Headaches from staring at a computer screen for many hours

Slip and fall accidents

Stress injuries such as strokes, heart attacks and psychological injuries
